French Vogue Black Lara Stone

French Vogue does a Black face issue with top Model Lara Stone, and many people like myself are wondering WHY?

Yes Lara is gorgeous, but there are also so many beautiful black models in the industry.

I feel like there has even been a real effort in the last two years in America to not just have a token black model, but have really diverse models from all races (be it all skinny – but one thing at a time people- Rome wasn’t built in one day and the model industry won’t change in one day either).

After all, we’re talking about money ( lots of it) and vanity here ( lots of that too). The first of which I have not and the second of which, like most of my fashionistas/frugalistas, I have lots!

Which begs the question couldn’t this have happened in modern day America?

Here are the photos from the Vogue shoot – Enjoy, Gag, or do whatever you may – which includes leaving a comment to say how you feel!

I’m listening…


The Purple Uniqlo Jeans from the Paris Store – Live and in Living Color

Uniqlo has really good fitting womens jeans – and these purple ones were bought from their new Paris store at Opera ( remember when I was tweeting about standing in line for 30 minutes to get in and another 20 minutes in line to checkout?).

Well here’s one of the pants I got – and at their promotional offer of under 10bucks!

I’d say it was well worth the wait wouldn’t you?

Ps. Uniqlo also does great basic mens jeans as well in addition to various cuts and styles for women.

FYI their sizes run a bit large so if you regularly wear a 28, try a 27 or even a size 26.
They have jeans in all sizes its not just for stick figures aka skinny people like some brands.
Oh and I love that they have extra long jeans at 34 length!
